Gaming Age Review: Bionic Commando

Combat is fairly standard though, and while certain boss fights and mini-bosses do make use of the grappling mechanic, for the most part the action stuff in Bionic Commando is standard run and gun style gameplay. You're equipped with a pistol at all times, but it does have a finite amount of ammo. There are secondary weapons that can be found in pods that the government shoots down at you, consisting of a rocket launcher with lock-on ability, a shotgun, a grenade launcher, and a machine gun that Super Joe references as being the one he used to use.
